Overview
The Berkeley Initiative for Transparency in the Social Sciences is a global network of scholars and institutions committed to improving the standards of openness and integrity in policy-oriented research. This grant will enable the Initiative to address the widening research capacity gap between scholars in the West and those in the Global South. The Initiative will do this through bringing visibility to research transparency efforts in resource-constrained institutions, providing hands-on training at UC Berkeley, in-country and online, and offering seed grants to support adoption of transparency best practices. The Initiative will translate dissemination and training materials into French and Spanish to increase accessibility.

Grants to this Grantee
for the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity
A grant to the University of California at Berkeley will support the ongoing work of the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity, the home of this research and engagement at the university. The center focuses on both the “cyber” and “security” components of cybersecurity, grounding efforts in a robust, flexible, and evolving understanding of the “possibility” space of cybersecurity. Research will focus on possible security scenarios and explore the technical, political, and economic intersection of these potential futures. The aim of this approach is to foster interdisciplinary collaboration within the center as well as to add diversity to the cybersecurity conversation. The center brings together academics from the School of Information, the School of Law, Computer Science, the Goldman School of Public Policy, and the College of Engineering, among others. It also engages external stakeholders in all facets of this work, including in outreach efforts. (Strategy: Talent Pipeline)
